Kids don't fake...no, never!!! lol He's too old to remember lying as a kid to try to fit in or please one's parents. By saying that, he's implying that some of the adults up there are faking. Now, is that a planned part of "the show" or just social pressure?

Also, this kind of icked me out, because it seemed such a bizarre promise: "You'll never be a drug addict. You'll never go to prison. Never. Neverrrrrrrr." Does he say this to all the kids he lays hands on or just the black boys?
